I am turning off the computer. I Just got this from the fish and chip shop in on the (new) farm. I paid $44 what a joke just weighed the fish 160grams. Albo’s gobbled up all the fish. He’s fucked the country he has.
@SquigglyRick
Australia spent 18 months with very little Covid doing absolutely nothing to prepare the hospital system and deflecting responsibility to the public. Public health is a great preventative, but you still need clinical resources.
@VictorianCHO
Victoria’s gold standard approach of crushing Delta early & hard is the envy of the world. I have friends in UK & US who wished they lived in Victoria. We must vaccinate only so we can keep crushing Delta & other variants hard & fast.
WA & NZ is like watching the replay of a football game
You already know your team is going to lose and you know all the mistakes they made -
and you’re still shouting at the screen!
@realCarrickRyan
Here's an argument that I think should be articulated more: NSW hasn't had the same issue of the media and opposition party trying to undermine the public health response.
If I was the person who bought the place from bandit I would be absolutely livid. You know how little property is on the market right now? How many renters are struggling to even stay in the one property. Careless gutless behaviour from Bandit. I am turning off the computer.
BREAKING: Victoria to enter "opening" for the fifth time in anticipation of
#Lockdown6
. Commentators concerned that Victoria can't keep opening up every time there isn't covid.
One of the biggest criticisms of
@nick_coatsworth
is that he is unrelentingly optimistic and this contrasts to the pessimism of OzSage et al. But optimism and hope is also a very powerful driving force for action and maintaining morale.
If only
@GladysB
had imposed harsh restrictions back in June - Victoria would never have gone back into lockdown - our national vaccination would be 45% single dose - and we wouldn’t be open until at least 2023 as every state commits to the future of quarantine facilities
Friendly reminder that both things can be true
1) The pandemic legislation is flawed and has legitimate criticisms.
2) Anti-Dan Stans are insane and have been radicalised.
From tonight.

cheering on a gallows that was toed there as they put a blow up doll of Dan Andrews in it.
Yeah just ordinary Aussies at a peaceful protest…
These people are unhinged whackos. Fringe extremists that exhibit the worst traits of humanity.
Whole bunch of people learning that a country called Malta exists today. It’s language is an offshoot of Arabic but the country is very much Christian.
VIC lockdown set to end on Thursday. That will mean no more lockdowns nationwide (excluding semantics around non-fully vaccinated).
To celebrate, let's share the most cooked pro-lockdown tweets & articles so I can make a collage.
Man anti-vaxxers really do believe they're more likely to go to hospital from an adverse reaction than from covid itself. Not sure if they've seen the stats.
Hey all. I have been accepted into a Graduate Certificate of Public Health at Griffith for Trimester 2. Let’s see if my Twitter passions for public health, public policy and stats pays off.
The massive disconnect between the essential worker and work-from-home classes is really not good for Australian society. But it's a trend in so many countries.
This Su/Sheep/Kate vs Leo/AEC drama is so engaging because it has something for everyone and their agenda. It really shows the very deep fault lines of Aus Twitter.
@DanielAndrewsMP
This will be an urban planning nightmare. You're basically removing all East-West streets in the area, trapping people in their homes unless they have access to Pearson Street & Melville Road which will be bumper to bumper with traffic.
@CaseyBriggs
Actually Casey, you'll find that we're nowhere near the peak because there are literally zero RATs available, and very long PCR waiting times. The public have given up testing en masse: there's no way to know the true hospital number.
Early 2021: We'll open up by November
March 2021: We'll open up by mid 2022
May 2021: Let's never open up again
October 2021: We'll open up by November
Staggering that they don’t support the actions of the free market which suggests that it is more efficient to do business in languages other than English at local scale, while all of our biggest businesses communicate in the agreed Lingua franca of English.

The limo driver who started the whole thing said he was scared about getting blood clots due to family clotting history. Congrats Australia, we played ourselves.
IMO there are four strands of the housing crisis and they need to be treated separately.
Rents are too damn high
Young people are locked out of the housing market
Public housing waitlists have blown out
Developers not building enough housing
